Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the Denga coin is that it was used as a form of currency in the Grand Principality of Moscow during the reign of Ivan III (also known as Ivan the Great) in the 15th century. The coin was made of silver and was used for everyday transactions, as well as for trade and commerce. Despite its age, some of these coins have been well-preserved and are now highly sought after by collectors and historians.
